Lovely

Chords

Tom does some pull offs and hammer ons on the first F 
[as seen in the video]. 
Most other F chords are a hammer on, pull off, 
hammer on, pull off on C string, 2nd fret. 
(I've marked these with a *)
 Also, for some G chords played, slide from the original fingering, 
to the A string, 3rd fret, then slide up to the 5th fret. 
(I've also marked these chords with a *)
Hopefully that explains it.. See the video for more help if needed.

Intro: F C F* C F* C F* C

C             G                 C                F                C F* C F*
They beat me up, and took my phone and left me lying on the ground.

C             G                 C               F
Some friendly ladies helped me up, and let me use their phone

C                           F         C             F
to call my mum and the police, who quickly came around. 

Dm                                                                      G*
And in the hospital, a friendly gentle cavalcade of all my friends came by.

(no chord)                      C
It was so lovely, I could cry.

F* C F* C F* C

C         G             C               F                C F* C F*
I slept away the Saturdays, trying to mend my injured head.

C          G         C           F
Well, ... and Jboy came to visit me, 

          C                  F               C                  F
and though I slept through most of it, they had fun times they said.

Dm                                                                  G*
And I remember in my semi-consious state seeing them wave me a goodbye.

(no chord)                   C F* C F* C F* C
It was so lovely I could cry.

Dm                                             C
Tom Bacon went to see, his northern family that Easter.

A|3-----5-----7-----0-----|
E|------------------------|
C|------------------------|
G|------------------------|

Dm                                                  C
And then the form went home, I was to be alone that Easter,

G               F     C         G         F 
But I didn't mind. I like having my own time.

C          G              C              F                    C F* C F*
On Easter morning, I went out to get some breakfast food to eat.

C         G                   C
But Ed and Fawn had gone when I got back,
   
 F              C                 F
And I was stuck oustide without a wallet, 

        C                  F
and no phone, no cash, no keys.

Dm                                                                        G*
So, I made my way to Ben's house and threw rocks until he let me come inside.

(no chord)                C F* C F* C F* C
It was so funny I could cry.

C              G                     C                F                C F* C F*
And though my neck and mouth still hurt, the time we had was filled with cheer.

C            G          C              F          C
We listened to the radio, ordered pizza, went to bed,

             F                 C             F
and cuddled up for the first time in a few years.

Dm
And the idiosyncratic muscle movements of the man I knew so well around my body

(still Dm)                                  G*
made those years feel like the lifespan of a fly.

(no chord)                  C F* C F* C F*
It was so lovely I could cry.

C G C

F
Ed came back, and I went home,

G
Then I bought another phone,

The end.

C F* C G C 
pluck C string, pluck G string.
